-  - \[00:00:00\] In my prior video, I mentioned wanting to move away from Google Keep for my short transcribed voice notes. - \[00:00:06\] Here, I want to demo what I've built to replace my Google Keep use. - \[00:00:12\] What you see on the screen currently are the neurons and synapses of my digital external brain. - \[00:00:18\] If I click on this one, I end up opening my notes app, Obsidian. - \[00:00:26\] This particular note is a summary of the litter box sifting for the day. - \[00:00:31\] As you can see, we have one of each of the two types, along with a single event where they were sifted. - \[00:00:38\] Now, to show a live demo, on the right is streaming video from my phone. - \[00:00:46\] This is live. - \[00:00:48\] I'm going to swipe down on the top right. - \[00:00:51\] I'm going to take a recording and we're going to see what happens. - \[00:00:58\] I just sifted a pea clump from the back litter box. - \[00:01:12\] Alright, so we can see that the total pea has been updated. - \[00:01:16\] We can see that the events list has been updated. - \[00:01:19\] I'll get back to the events list in a moment, but you may have seen something happen over here on the graph. - \[00:01:24\] If we go back one frame, we can see essentially this digital neuron cluster that was involved in all the things for generating this report. - \[00:01:35\] Now, let me show you a little bit more about what's going on here. - \[00:01:40\] This app is called Obsidian, and one of its features is backlinks, these link dimensions. - \[00:01:46\] Essentially, this note, litterboxes sifting, is mentioned by my note for the day. - \[00:01:52\] I mention that because this event, there's a note associated with it. - \[00:01:58\] There's a lot going on, you don't need to care about all these details, but you can see the text of my transcribed voice note there. - \[00:02:05\] Now, we can keep using backlinks, and we can jump to all cat transcriptions. - \[00:02:11\] Now, it's the beginning of the day, so I don't have a lot of demo data here, - \[00:02:15\] but what you can definitely see is that some of these things are automatically crossed off. - \[00:02:21\] So in this case, we automatically integrated the litterbox note, so there's no need to really review it. - \[00:02:27\] That's the point of this not automatically structured, is that's what I actually want to review, and the all is just there for context. - \[00:02:36\] That's kind of the gist of what I wanted to show here, just this idea of an external digital brain being able to do more than what apps typically do, - \[00:02:46\] as well as providing what I call idea provenance, the idea that you can trace back what's going on. ## "Listeners" zoom-in If I say, "I sifted a pee clump from the front litter box" here's what it looks like: ![[Pasted image 20240725135338.png]] - Here we see the "Gossiper" (pink 🗣️) on the left - It activates multiple listeners - Only the cats listener (brown 👂) propagates the voice note
